The advent of weight-bearing computed tomography (WBCT) generated 3D enhance the visualization of foot and ankle alignment, offering unmatched detail. This study aims to assess the accuracy of preoperative and postoperative measurements in TAA across all three planes using WBCT-generated 3D models. We hypothesize that these models can be reliably used to compare preoperative and postoperative alignment.</p><p><strong>Methods: </strong>For 81 patients undergoing TAA, preoperative and postoperative WBCT models were created. Measurements included five coronal angles: Alpha, Tibiotalar Surface Angle (TSA), Talar Tilt Angle (TT), Salzmann's 20 degrees Angle (SA), and Talocalcaneal Angle (TCA); three sagittal angles: Beta, Gamma, and Tibiotalar Ratio (TTR); and one axial angle: The Posterior Talar Rotational Angle (PTARA).

{"title":"Younger age correlates with increased gutter impingement rates after total ankle arthroplasty.","authors":"Kevin A Wu, Albert T Anastasio, Kishen Mitra, Conor N O'Neill, James A Nunley, Mark E Easley, James K DeOrio, Samuel B Adams","doi":"10.1016/j.fas.2024.08.009","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.fas.2024.08.009","url":null,"abstract":"<p><strong>Background: </strong>While total ankle arthroplasty (TAA) has evolved over the years with improved designs and enhanced bony fixation methods, it remains a technically demanding procedure with a risk of early postoperative complications. One of the most common complications associated with TAA is medial and lateral gutter ankle impingement, which can lead to issues such as increased pain and decreased range of motion (ROM). However, there is a paucity of information in the literature discussing the impact of certain risk factors on gutter impingement complications.</p><p><strong>Methods: </strong>A retrospective analysis was conducted on a cohort of patients who underwent a TAA at a single institution from 2003 to 2019 with a minimum of 2-year follow-up. Patient were identified as having gutter impingement based on diagnostic imaging and/or clinical examination. Data collection included demographics, implant type, follow-up time, and co-morbidities. Multivariate odds ratios (OR) of experiencing gutter impingement were calculated for perioperative variables.</p><p><strong>Results: </strong>The study included a total of 908 patients who underwent TAA with a minimum of 2 year follow up and 121 patients (13.3 %) who subsequently experienced gutter impingement. The average follow-up time was 5.84 + /- 3.07 years. There were 178 patients under 55 years old, 495 patients aged 55 to 70, and 235 patients over 70 years old. A higher rate of gutter impingement was observed in patients under 55 years of age compared to those aged 55 to 70 and over 70 (20.8 % vs. 13.5 % vs. 7.2 %; p < 0.01). Multivariable logistic regression revealed that patient age was significantly correlated with gutter impingement following TAA, with an OR of 0.94 (CI: 0.91-0.98; p < 0.01).</p><p><strong>Conclusion: </strong>This study demonstrated increased incidence of gutter impingement in younger patients who underwent TAA. Propensity for scar tissue formation may be higher in this population. Scar tissue deposition following TAA can cause narrowing of the medial and lateral clear spaces, potentially leading to gutter impingement. Additionally, younger patients may have increased activity demands, which subsequently may cause higher rates of symptomatic impingement. As increased impingement after TAA may require the need for additional debridement surgeries, it is important to understand the intricate relationship between age and gutter impingement for managing patient expectations following TAA.</p><p><strong>Level of evidence: </strong>Level III.</p>","PeriodicalId":48743,"journal":{"name":"Foot and Ankle Surgery","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2024-09-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142146613","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
